Wife works for DFS ,they are having trouble sourcing enough cushion fillings due to raw material supply problems, therefore staff are sat on short wages doing nothing for long periods due to? ,you got it ,the oven ready Brexit deal .
Hearing lots of stories along these lines.
The argument I used to get from the leave brigade was that it would force manufacturers to source materials from British companies, thereby boosting our own economy rather than Europe’s.
The problem here, of course, is that a) There are no UK companies producing those goods, or b) they are too expensive. So as a consequence businesses are shipping in cheap, low quality goods from the Far East and elsewhere.
As I have said before I know a delicatessen owner who can only get genuine produce from the country of origin. Immediately after the Brexit deal the cost of his orders went up by 30%.
Like most of the perceived “benefits” of Brexit the reality is completely different.

“All his plans made a great deal of sense”.
Really? I mean, really?
Did anyone ever expect to see a refurbished stadium never mind a squeaky clean new one?
Did anyone think that splashing out the cash on lucrative 2/3 year contracts was sustainable.
The plan to install his son as head of recruitment? That went well!
He could talk the talk, I’ll give you that. But when it came to walking the walk…..!

Any chance of getting the leaderboard updated?
Or are we waiting for a takeover?

And what galls me is that all those radio interviews and Bru podcasts he did since 2018 were done by him knowing that was the case.
All the time he was saying everything was hunky-dory. We weren’t going down, we were sustainable, work was about to start on the redevelopment.
Laying the blame on others. NLC, the fans, Covid and the managers.
At last we’ve got some answers to what the hell was going on, but it doesn’t make it any easier to take.

I’m sure there’d be a few on here willing to give Mr Swann some advice free of charge!

Not against them as people Sidey (have spoken to Princess Anne and she was very nice). Just don’t think we need a monarchy in the 21st century.
Charles and William talk about modernising the monarchy but I doubt they will. More to the point I doubt large sections of the British public want them too.
Souvenir Coronation mugs! Get ’em here!

In the greater scheme of things this is nothing more than High Society tittle-tattle. There are far more important issues facing the British public at this moment in time.
We don’t need a monarchy and we certainly don’t need this transatlantic soap opera.
Yet bizarrely the public not only lap it up but hold their bowls up for more!
And of course to the tabloid press this is manna from heaven. To the right wing government it’s not only flag waving but a handy distraction from the mess they’re making running the country.
Yesterday’s headlines in the majority of newspapers was about the NHS crisis and rail strikes. In the Mail and the Sun it was this story.
Personally I don’t give a toss about any of them and find the public voyeurism both unhealthy and uncomfortable, though not unsurprising.

Good shout, but Sidey would tell you it started in 2018!

Put it this way.
21 games left. Win 7, draw 7, lose 7.
That will only give us 44pts. Probably too little, too late.
And let’s not forget we’ve only won 7 games in the last season and a half.
Ain’t gonna happen!

Hmm, unusual for Christians to fall out with other Christians.
Not like it’s ever caused a war or anything like that!
